Piazza San Carlo

Lined with historic cafes and elegant shops, this is the perfect place to savor an espresso and watch the world go by.
Palazzo Carignano
Step back in time at Palazzo Carignano, a magnificent palace commissioned by the Savoy family. Marvel at its undulating facade, a prime example of Baroque genius, and discover the birthplace of Italy's first king, Vittorio Emanuele II. Opposite, imagine the performances held at the authentic eighteenth-century Teatro Carignano, a testament to Turin's rich theatrical history.
Piazza Castello
Discover the heart of Turin at Piazza Castello, where all the city's streets converge. This majestic square serves as the grand entrance to the Royal Palace (Palazzo Reale), the former residence of the Savoy monarchs. Surrounded by historical landmarks and bustling with activity, Piazza Castello is the perfect starting point to explore Turin's royal heritage.
Duomo di Torino & Holy Shroud
Delve into the spiritual heart of Turin at the Duomo di Torino (Turin Cathedral), a 15th-century masterpiece. Witness the architectural beauty of this sacred space and, more importantly, contemplate the mystery of the Holy Shroud, believed to be the burial cloth of Jesus. Even without a viewing of the Shroud itself, the Duomo offers a powerful and reflective experience.
Parco Archeologico dell'Area Romana
Unearth Turin's ancient Roman roots at the Parco Archeologico dell'Area Romana. Explore the remnants of Augusta Taurinorum, including the ruins of the Roman Theatre and the imposing Porta Palatina, one of the best-preserved Roman city gates in the world. Wander among these ancient stones and imagine life in Turin two thousand years ago.
Quadrilatero Romano
Step into the medieval charm of the Quadrilatero Romano, Turin's oldest district. Get lost in the maze of narrow streets that still follow the original orthogonal Roman layout. Explore quaint shops, discover hidden courtyards, and savor an authentic Italian coffee in a historical café where time seems to have stood still.
Modern Turin: Grattacielo Intesa Sanpaolo & OGR
Witness Turin's modern transformation in its contemporary district. Marvel at Renzo Piano's striking Grattacielo Intesa Sanpaolo skyscraper, a symbol of innovation. Explore the OGR (Officine Grandi Riparazioni), a former train repair complex transformed into a cutting-edge cultural center, showcasing Turin's commitment to art, technology, and innovation.
La Crocetta
Stroll through La Crocetta, Turin's elegant residential district, and admire the stunning Liberty-style villas. This upper-class neighborhood showcases the finest examples of Art Nouveau architecture in Turin. Take a leisurely walk, admire the intricate facades, and immerse yourself in the refined atmosphere of this beautiful area.
Parco del Valentino
Escape to the tranquility of Parco del Valentino, Turin's oldest public park. Discover the enchanting Borgo Medievale, a meticulously recreated medieval village, and explore the Royal Savoy residence, Castello del Valentino, now a university of architecture. Relax amidst ancient trees, watch the playful squirrels, and enjoy a peaceful retreat from the bustling city.
The Po River & Panoramic Views
Experience the natural beauty of the Po River, Italy's longest waterway. Take a scenic walk or bike ride along its banks and soak in the peaceful atmosphere.
